[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was for 9th & 10th. 9th was while we were still in the Middle School building. It was a good experience, in some surprising ways. We had practice every day which was almost entirely run by our squad. It was good training for working, the 8 of us, needing to agree, cooperate. We had to elect a leader and at times change that decision. The adult sponsor was mainly there to sign paperwork, look in on us but we were on our own. This was a good thing. In 9th grade the 12th grade cheer captains of the Varsity squad mentored us, somewhat. Those 2 captains, truly were 2 of the best "leaders" I have come across even in my professional life.

It's good exercise. It gets the student involved in boosting school moral. I wasn't a fan of competitions. We wanted to be good but wasn't a fan of putting great emphasis on competitive-level cheer. That was a distracting element, imo.

By the time it was time to try out for Varsity, I wanted to do other activities. Otherall, it can be a very good experience.[/quote]
